- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences project grant of $248,151 will support high resolution optical interferometry studies of interacting binary star systems to better understand stellar evolution and the formation of neutron stars and black holes. Led by Dr. [PI name] at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, the team will use the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy array to collect interferometric data on known symbiotic binary stars over a...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $493,670 Project Grant to the Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds research to explore the long-term behavior of nearby red dwarfs. As the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the national scientific enterprise, this...
- This $179,648 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research project led by the University of Arizona. The project aims to explore the role of nature versus nurture in the formation of multiple star systems, in contrast to our own single-star solar system. The research team will use computer models incorporating physics like gravity, turbulence, radiation, and stellar...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $483,886 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on binary star formation in the Orion Nebula Cluster. The research aims to use advanced techniques like laser frequency comb spectroscopy and adaptive optics to discover a larger population of close binary stars that were previously undetected in this stellar nursery. The findings...
- This Project Grant award of $1,385,600.00 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will enable upgrades to the CHARA (Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy) Array at Georgia State University Research Foundation. The upgrades will allow simultaneous visible and infrared wavelength observations, improving stellar diameter measurements, exoplanet host star characterization, and analysis of stellar features like star spots and...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $145,866, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Chicago. The funding will support a collaborative research project to study the internal structures of massive hot stars, the greatest sources of energy and new material in the galaxy, through the application of a new technique called polarimetric asteroseismology. The research team, comprised of astronomers...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $304,783 Project Grant to Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. to support the REU SITE: ASTRONOMY AND PHYSICS AT GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY: FROM THE LARGEST TO SMALLEST SCALES IN THE UNIVERSE program from November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2024. The grant supports the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will provide $415,315 to Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. to precisely measure the sizes and temperatures of stars in nearby double-star systems. The research team will use a specialized telescope called an interferometer to gather high-precision data on the angular diameters of at least 24 stars in 14 binary systems. This data will be combined with information on the stars' brightness and distance to calculate their physical sizes and temperatures. The project aims to test modern stellar evolutionary models and explore the effects of metallicity on radius inflation in low-mass stars. It also includes strong educational and outreach components, involving high school students building their own telescopes and undergraduate/graduate students receiving hands-on astronomy training.
